Not really, he just basically wanted people to realize that he is not seeking to take Eisner's job. He also wanted people to make the distinction between the money the company
has earned and the money the company
should have earned.
Paula at the top of the interview that Disney value has gone from $1 billion in 1984 to something like $25 billion this year. Roy wanted her to understand that if a person invested $1000 in Disney in 1994, they would right now be able to cash out at $1000 today. He said that "the money would have been better in the bank".
He also cited acquisitions that Disney has made in the past 9 years that should have multiplied the companies earnings, when in truth, they have been "as flat as a pancake".
Didn't seem like a real forceful or persuasive interview, I think he was just trying to get more awareness out there about what is going to be happening (ie: the impending battle).
When asked what he would do if he failed, he said he plans on being around a long time, and isn't going anywhere.
Sure didn't seem to me like a man too old to be a part of his uncle's company.
